、、、、、、、

The trunk of the tree trembled even more, and even this incredible towering tree, under the huge body of the Black Water Snake, seemed to tremble.

It seems to be an evil beast from ancient times, the Black Water Snake wraps its huge snake body around the trunk of the tree, and everywhere it passes, the branches and leaves are messy, and those vines and flowers are withered and broken. It shook its head and tailed forward, and the humans in front of it were like ants at the moment, not worth mentioning.

Lu Xueqi's face turned slightly pale, and she took a step, her eyes still staring at the ancient giant beast that was getting closer and closer, and whispered to Zeng Shushu beside her, "What's the matter?"

Zeng Shushu saw sweat on his forehead and said: "When we were down there just now, we suddenly met this terrible beast. But at that time, it didn't seem to care about us, it was just looking for something, and soon left, but I didn't expect it to climb up. ”

Everyone looked at each other, although everyone present was a person who had achieved cultivation, far from being comparable to mortals in the world, but manpower eventually ran out sometimes, especially in front of this terrifying giant beast, any resistance was ridiculous.

At the moment when the Black Water Snake was getting closer and closer, Jin Bei'er suddenly said, "Oh no, I'm afraid this beast is also here for the things in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault." ”

The crowd changed color for a moment.

Ghost Li frowned slightly, his face was expressionless, but he suddenly thought in his heart that when he first entered the wall of miasma in Death Ze Neize, he suddenly encountered an incredibly large giant beast in the miasma, and he didn't see it clearly because of the miasma, but since then, he has been vaguely familiar with the unique fishy aura around him, and now it seems that what he met that day was actually this black water snake.

Watching the Black Water Snake continue to advance, the huge black body weighed down the tree trunk and trembled, almost making people worry about whether the tree trunk would be crushed by it. And in mid-air, the huge snake head, under the fangs, the bright red bifurcated tongue kept expanding and contracting in the air, and roared softly in the direction of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house in the distance, as if it was very excited.

At this moment, everyone had already seen that the purpose of this giant beast was indeed the thing in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury behind them.

The ghost turned his head and looked at the treasure house of the Emperor of Heaven, only to see that the thick stone gate was still unmoving, and the sunlight that originally only shone in the sea of flowers in front of the stone gate had also moved to the door at this moment, and the four ancient seal characters of "The Treasure House of the Emperor of Heaven" were shining in the sun.

Seeing the huge snake body getting closer and closer like a small mountain, Fa Xiang sighed lightly, quickly turned around and said to the others: "This Black Water Snake is an ancient demonic beast, which is not something that can be defeated by human beings, and we are definitely not its opponents, so don't hold on, let's go." ”

In fact, everyone knows this truth, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu and the others all nodded, and the golden bottle over there snorted, obviously the boss's reluctance, but looking at her expression, she was still ready to leave.

Everyone in the field took up the magic weapon one after another, ready to scatter away, and the ghost Li slowly lit up with a dark blue light in his hand, and turned around to greet Xiao Ash who was still hiding near the stone gate, at this time, suddenly, above the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, there was a dull roar.

At this moment, it is the sunshine in the sky that shines on the top horizontal of the word "sky" in the four-character ancient seal of the "Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House".

"Roar!"

Almost at the same time, the Black Water Snake suddenly increased its speed, roared in its mouth and quickly climbed up, everyone was shocked for a while, and the people of Jin Bei'er, Zeng Shushu, Lin Jingyu, Fa Xiang and others flew up first.

In the air, the smell of fishy air is blowing in the nostrils, and the gale blows from nowhere, blowing like a knife.

Ghost Li suddenly pounced back with his body, flying towards the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, Fa Xiang and the others who were already in mid-air at this moment were all taken aback, and then looked back, only to see the black water snake seemed to be furious, its huge eyes were wide open, there seemed to be a trace of black gas spewing out of its mouth, and the huge snake body kept writhing, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury.

The huge Heavenly Emperor Treasure Treasury Stone Gate in front of human beings, at this moment, seemed to be only the size of the snake head of the Black Water Snake.

The ghost man was in mid-air, only to feel that the darkness behind him suddenly darkened, and the darkness like a mountain rushed towards him, and he didn't need to look back, he also knew that the huge snake body of the black water snake was behind him.

He turned into a green light, and in front of the giant beast, like lightning, galloped towards the stone gate.

Ahead, the monkey Ash suddenly screamed!

A black shadow smashed down, and the huge wind was so fierce that it had not touched the body yet, and it had already blown the ghostly figure away.

Ghost Li was shocked in his heart, but he was no longer the young man who was under the necromancy back then, and his mind instantly moved, as if he had eyes behind him, and he escaped from the snake body of the black water snake that fell down with the soul devourer.

At this moment, the sound on the stone door of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury gradually became higher, accompanied by a roar, under the illumination of the sun, the huge stone door that was originally intact suddenly cracked a gap in the middle, and then slowly moved to the side.

A golden, dazzling light poured out from that gap, and even in the daytime, it was so brilliant that even the rising sun in the sky seemed to be dim at this moment.

It was as if something was roaring in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury, roaring in the golden light!

The entire huge body of the Black Water Snake suddenly straightened up, and let out an earth-shattering roar, not to mention ignoring other things, the huge snake head rushed directly towards the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house.

And between it and the stone gate, the cyan light that was speeding seemed to be one step ahead of it, and it was about to enter the Heavenly Emperor's treasury......

If, there is no Tianya Divine Sword that is as bright as autumn water.

A blue curtain of light rushed to Ghost Li's head at some point, condensed into a huge lightsaber, and slashed down at him. The red glow in the eyes of the ghost is sheng, and he sees that the stone gate is in front of him, but if this brilliant sword does not resist, he is afraid that he will be cut into two pieces on the spot, and he has no choice but to reverse the green mang, facing the sky, the blue and green light, in the black shadow that came from behind him with teeth and claws, slammed violently, and in an instant, the invisible qi wave flew out in all directions, and even the Jin Bottler and others who were flying in the air at this moment couldn't help but change color.

Although the power was huge, it was not affected in the slightest for the Black Water Snake and the strange golden light in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault. The golden light was still dazzling, more and more prosperous, and the black water snake also rushed over, this man and woman, in the dangerous realm of drastic changes and turmoil on both sides, but they were still struggling to support, and no one refused to back down slightly.

Until, the light of their respective magic weapons overshadowed them, and the faces of the two of them became more and more pale, but most importantly, in this moment of lightning, a huge black shadow rushed to them.

The magic weapon of human cultivation, inspired by its own power, disappeared under the force of the excitement of the black water snake.

Lu Xueqi and Ghost Li flew forward at the same time, Ghost Li only felt that the qi and blood in his chest were turbulent, his mind was buzzing, and the meridians of his whole body were almost completely turned over by the strong shock of the Black Water Snake, and a mouthful of blood was stuck in his chest.

But Rao is like this, he still feels severe pain all over his body, and he doesn't know how many bones in his body have been broken, and he is in the air, he suddenly forcibly turned his head and looked at Lu Xueqi.

The cold woman seemed to be even worse at the moment, dressed in snow-white clothes, on her chest, bloodstained, pale cheeks and lips, blood was constantly overflowing, and it seemed that she vomited blood on the spot.

Although the Qingyunmen Dao method is wonderful, in terms of strengthening the heart and protecting itself, it is still the great Brahma of Buddhism that is superior.

The righteous path people who stayed in mid-air were stunned, this thing only happened in a moment, and before they could react, Lu Xueqi had already stopped the ghost, and after a while, the two of them were hit by the black water snake at the same time, looking at their figures, I was afraid that they were all seriously injured.

Lu Xueqi is a disciple of Qingyun, needless to say, the ghost is the original Zhang Xiaofan, and the people present have a deep relationship, this drastic change, everyone in the righteous path reacted, and immediately flew down, although they couldn't stop the ancient demonic beast of the Black Water Snake, but they always hoped to help the two.

At the same time, the golden bottle also flew down quietly from the other side, but under the shadow of the black water snake, she had a pair of wonderful eyes, but she was just staring at the brilliant golden light in the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house, and her bright eyes were shining.

In the distance, the newborn sun was a little taller.

Under the sun, the word "Tian" from the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury moved up a little horizontally.

Suddenly, the stone door, which had been opened halfway and about three feet wide, suddenly stopped and continued to move, and after a while, it began to close instead, and the golden light inside gradually dimmed.

The ghost was about to crack, but he and Lu Xueqi were still awake, but the force of the black water snake was too great, and he couldn't control his body in a hurry, and he was about to crash into the hard and thick stone gate.

What's even more terrifying is that the stone door is gradually closing in a low muffled sound......

In the distance, as if in mid-air, there was an exclamation from Lin Jingyu and others!

In that moment, there was a sudden trance: faintly, there seemed to be a woman in green clothes, under the blue sky, smiling slightly at herself. It's just that her smile, somehow, is a little blurry.

Time, at this moment, seemed to slow down suddenly.

His body flipped in the air, and he saw the hideous black water snake coming behind him, the hard stone door that was gradually closing in front of him, and the woman in white who was floating in the air uncontrollably like himself.

He suddenly wanted to ask Lu Xueqi: For what, she didn't hesitate to risk losing her life to stop herself?

"Squeak, squeak!" seemed to be a sudden scream in his ears, the voice of the monkey Xiao Ash woke him up, Xiao Ash didn't know when he ran to the crack in the stone gate, jumped up and down, screamed loudly, and at this moment, the distance between the gaps in the stone door was less than two feet.

Seeing it, it was about to crash into the stone gate.

Seeing it, it is about to end this life.

Seeing that, the blue sky and white clouds were all pressed down towards themselves.

If, give up......

He gritted his teeth, used the last of his strength, twisted his body a few points, and in a moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the gap ahead, facing him.

Perhaps, you can escape the ghost gate, right?

He breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was going to die, and he had no strength.

The wind was cold, but he suddenly felt that someone was watching him.

He lifted his eyes.

Lu Xueqi didn't know when, she had already come to her senses, and she was beside him, looking at the direction in which she was flying, she was definitely going to crash into the hard stone door. However, for some reason, there was not the slightest fear on the face of this beautiful woman.

At this moment when the world was spinning, at this moment when life and death were at stake, she couldn't help but fly towards death, but there was no trace of sadness or fear on her face.

It seems to be like an epiphany in the night, her figure embellished with red blood, in the frightening exclamations in the distance, in the ghostly, no, in front of Zhang Xiaofan back then, she suddenly smiled.

There was tenderness in her pale smile that had never appeared before, and in the midst of such a cold wind, her lips opened and closed slightly, staring at the people around her.

There are four words, through the sound of the wind, through the blood, more like through the years, gently wandering in the past ten years, and then, lingering in his ears, echoing in his deep heart.

"You, come back......"

※※※

She closed her eyes, and her body seemed to sink suddenly, and she saw that she was about to leave him, like the last strength, and disappeared with the words of those four words.

The black hair fluttered, slightly covering the side of her fair face in the wind, and the woman floated with the wind, but there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

But what is it that reverberates so fiercely in the depths of my heart? Like a raging flood that has broken all obstacles, and everything in the world can disappear, but at this moment, the white figure,

How can you give up?

How can you give it up?

There was a low, hoarse roar in his throat, and he struggled in the inexplicable tears, and he struggled in the fierce wind, reaching out, reaching out......

Hold!

It's like ten years ago, next to the Necronomical Abyss, in the rain of countless rocks, the woman in white desperately came to him and grabbed his hand.

Hold......

Before the last of his senses were gone, he used all his strength to pull the woman towards him.

Ahead, there was only a foot left in the gap of the stone gate, and the golden light in the stone gate had completely disappeared at this moment, leaving only darkness.

There was a faint warmth in the palm of his hand.

He closed his eyes, and the boundless darkness, as if it had been ten years ago, drowned over them, engulfing them.

※※※

The stone door slammed shut, and at that last moment, the monkey Ash also followed his master in.

And then, the huge stone door closed again with a loud noise, and the gap in the middle suddenly disappeared unbelievably.

"Boom!" The huge snake head of the Black Water Snake smashed on the stone gate, and the huge force was like a mountain and a sea, and the trunk of the giant tree with a thickness of dozens of zhang also trembled violently, as if it was about to break.

The black water snake seemed to see the food in its mouth and flew away, falling into an irrepressible rage, and the huge snake head began to hit the stone gate frantically, and the power was so great that even everyone in the distance in the air changed color.

The golden bottle flew up hatefully, far away from the black water snake, and secretly cursed in her heart, just now she took advantage of the fact that everyone in the righteous path was not paying attention, and secretly followed the black water snake on the other side to approach the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury in the shadows, and she wanted to see the machine enter, but the scene took a sharp turn, and the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury was somehow suddenly closed again.

The golden bottle was a step late, very angry, but there was nothing to be done, and at this moment, under the fury of the black water snake, the attention had begun to turn to the people in the sky, and the golden bottle saw that the beast looked up and seemed to have a strange movement, and hurriedly retreated dozens of feet.

Sure enough, the black water snake suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out a stream of black venom to everyone in the sky, the fishy smell was so strong that it was about to vomit, and everyone in the righteous path avoided it one after another, and it was a little embarrassed for a while, but the golden bottle hid faster, and it was quite calm. But looking at the black water snake roaring furiously under his feet, and then desperately hitting the stone gate of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure house with his head, I was afraid that I would not be able to get any more cheap today, and if I waited, the people of the righteous path over there would be a little hostile to me, so it was better to go.

Thinking like this, the golden bottle quietly left here, flying towards the road, but did not fly far, her body suddenly shook, only to see that on the way to come, just now the black water snake passed by, a mess, but for some reason, there is a vine flower garden, undamaged, and in this flower garden, under the sunlight, there seems to be a faint dark red light quietly flickering, arranged chaotically, but under a closer look, there seems to be a mystery.

Jin Zhu'er frowned slightly, looked carefully for a moment, and suddenly a fine light flashed in his eyes, as if he saw something doorway, and then quickly glanced around, and at the same time sneered, and said in a low voice: "Even they are here!"

She muttered slightly in mid-air for a moment, and finally shook her head and flew away without looking back.

And before the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House, the fury of the Black Water Snake was still endless, desperately hitting the stone gate, and the righteous people in the sky originally wanted to secretly go down to see if they could rescue Lu Xueqi and the others, but as soon as they got closer, they would be attacked by the Black Water Snake, and several times they were almost injured in the hands of this giant beast.

After several more times in distress, the Fa Xiang motioned to the others to retreat farther away, gathered together, and then whispered: "There is no way to go on like this, and I don't know what is in this treasure house that makes this beast so obsessed." With it here, we won't be able to enter the treasury anyway. ”

Lin Jingyu's face was grim, staring at the black water snake below, Zeng Shushu also had an anxious look on his face, but even if he was witty and smart, he couldn't do anything at the moment.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious, it seemed that only the crazy roar of the Black Water Snake was left in the heavens and the earth. It was at this time that suddenly, the sky darkened.

Zeng Shushu and the others all jumped, just a moment ago, the sky was still clear here, how could it change the sky in an instant, and they couldn't help but look up.

At this look, they were stunned, only to see that above the nine heavens, a large area of orange and yellow color suddenly appeared, almost dozens of zhang square, shrouded above their heads, and even blocked the sunlight.

Then, there seemed to be a clear roar like a phoenix in the sky.

The Black Water Snake, which had just fallen into madness, suddenly stopped moving, and the huge snake head raised its head to watch, and then as if in an angry gesture, it opened its mouth, bared its fangs, and roared towards the cloud.

The cloud fell like a shadow of the sun, and although it didn't look as big as the Black Water Snake, it was not much different from it.

In the distance, everyone could clearly see that this was actually a strange bird with orange and yellow feathers all around, spreading its wings and flying, hovering in the air, and instead of fearing the black water snake entrenched on the trunk of the tree, it seemed to attack.

And in the face of this strange bird, the Black Water Snake even put away its invincible attitude, coiled up, the snake's head sizzled, and waited for it.

"This one is the legendary Nine Heavens Spirit Bird, the Yellow Bird!" (Note 1)

Fa Xiang looked at the two giant beasts facing each other in the distance and muttered.

※※※

Note 1: This allusion is taken from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Southern Classic of the Great Wilderness, and the Yellow Bird of Wushan": Those who have Wushan have yellow birds in the west. Imperial medicine, eight lents. The yellow bird is in Wushan, and the snake is here.

Another note: The emperor is the emperor of heaven, and the medicine refers to the immortal medicine, that is, the elixir of immortality. The snake is the black water snake.
